EXECUTION VERSION

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

This Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 2, 2017, by and among Quantum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the entities and natural persons listed on Exhibit A hereto and their respective Affiliates (as defined below) (collectively, “VIEX”) (each of the Company and VIEX, a “Party” to this Agreement, and collectively, the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, each of the Company and VIEX has filed proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) with respect to the election of directors at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company to be held on March 31, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting”);

WHEREAS, VIEX is deemed to beneficially own shares of the common stock of the Company, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), totaling, in the aggregate, 29,531,722 shares, constituting approximately 10.9% of the Common Stock outstanding as of the date hereof; and

WHEREAS, the Company and VIEX have determined to come to an agreement with respect to the election of members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) at the Annual Meeting and certain other matters, as provided in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Board Matters; Board Appointments; Annual Meeting.

(a) The Company agrees, and the Board and all applicable committees of the Board have taken all necessary actions, (i) subject to paragraph (l) below, to nominate and solicit for each of Paul R. Auvil III, Gregg J. Powers, David E. Roberson and Jon W. Gacek (each, a “Company Nominee”) for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting, and (ii) subject to paragraph (e) and paragraph (i) below, to nominate and solicit for each of Clifford Press (“VIEX Nominee One”), Raghu Rau (“VIEX Nominee Two”) and John Mutch (“VIEX Nominee Three”, and together with VIEX Nominee One and VIEX Nominee Two, the “VIEX Nominees”) for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. As of the date of this Agreement, each of VIEX Nominee Two and VIEX Nominee Three is appointed as an observer to the Board until the Annual Meeting. VIEX Nominee Two and VIEX Nominee Three will (i) receive copies of all notices and written information furnished to the full Board or any committee of the Board, reasonably in advance of each meeting to the extent practicable and in any event at the same time as members of the Board or the applicable committee, and (ii) be permitted to be present at all meetings of the full Board (whether by telephone or in person). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Company shall be entitled to withhold any information and exclude VIEX Nominee Two and VIEX Nominee Three from any meeting, or any portion thereof, as is reasonably determined by the Company to be necessary to protect the Company’s attorney-client privilege until VIEX Nominee Two and VIEX Nominee Three are elected to the Board, and (B) each of VIEX Nominee Two and VIEX Nominee Three shall execute a confidentiality and indemnification agreement in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to minimize the frequency and duration of any exclusions pursuant to part (A) of the preceding sentence.

(b) Except for the Company Nominees and the VIEX Nominees, the Company shall not nominate any person for election at the Annual Meeting nor shall it permit any other stockholder to nominate individuals for election as directors at the Annual Meeting. From the date hereof until the Annual Meeting, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall not increase the size of the Board to more than nine (9) directors. Effective as of the completion of the Annual Meeting, (i) the size of the Board shall be reduced to seven (7) directors, and (ii) Paul R. Auvil III shall be appointed as chairman of the Board. Immediately after the Annual Meeting, and until earlier of the date of termination of the Standstill Period and the Termination Date (each as defined below), the size of the Board shall remain at seven (7) directors.

(c) VIEX hereby withdraws the notice of stockholder nominations dated February 2, 2017. Prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period, VIEX hereby agrees not to (i) bring any nominations or business before the Annual Meeting, directly or indirectly, or (ii) initiate, encourage or participate in any “withhold” or similar campaign with respect to the Annual Meeting, directly or indirectly, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates or Associates (as defined below) to do any of the items in this Section 1(c). With respect to the Annual Meeting, VIEX shall not publicly or privately encourage or support any other stockholder to take any of the actions described in this Section 1(c).

(d) The Company agrees that it will recommend, support and solicit proxies for the election of the VIEX Nominees at the Annual Meeting in the same manner as for the Company’s other nominees standing for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting, but in any event with no less effort than the Company has used to solicit for its own slate of directors in connection with its three previous annual meetings of stockholders.

(e) The Company agrees that if any VIEX Nominee or any Replacement Director (as defined below) is unable to serve as a director, resigns as a director (other than as contemplated by paragraph (j) below) or is removed as a director prior to the Next Annual Meeting (as defined below), VIEX shall have the ability to identify a substitute person(s) who is not a director of the Company as of the date of this Agreement for approval by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board (the “Governance Committee”) within three (3) business days of identification, which approval shall be withheld only upon failure by such individual of a customary background check (any such replacement nominee recommended in accordance with the terms of this Section 1(e) shall be referred to as the “Replacement Director”), subject to the fiduciary duties of the Board set forth in the third succeeding sentence of this paragraph (e). Any Replacement Director shall (i) not be an Affiliate or Associate of VIEX and (ii) qualify as “independent” pursuant to the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “NYSE”). In the event the Governance Committee rejects a substitute person recommended by VIEX, VIEX will have the right to recommend additional substitute person(s), who meet the requirements of (i) and (ii) in the preceding sentence. The Board shall vote on the appointment of such Replacement Director to the Board no later than three (3) business days after the Governance Committee recommendation of such Replacement Director and shall not reject the Replacement Director unless required to do so in the exercise of its fiduciary duties; provided, however, that if the Board does not elect such Replacement Director to the Board, the Parties shall continue to follow the procedures of this Section 1(e) until a Replacement Director is elected to the Board.

2

(f) At the Annual Meeting and, if the Standstill Period remains in effect, the Next Annual Meeting, VIEX agrees to appear in person or by proxy and vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it in favor of the election of each of the Company’s nominees for election to the Board (ratably with respect to all nominees), provided, however, that VIEX shall only be required to vote ratably with respect to all nominees at such annual meeting to the extent that the Company also votes ratably with respect to all nominees at such annual meeting.

(g) VIEX agrees that it will cause its Affiliates and Associates to comply with the terms of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the terms “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective meanings set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) and shall include all persons or entities that at any time during the term of this Agreement become Affiliates or Associates of any person or entity referred to in this Agreement.

(h) The Company shall (i) hold the Annual Meeting on March 31, 2017, (ii) hold the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Next Annual Meeting”) (A) no earlier than August 1, 2017 and (B) no later than August 31, 2017, and (iii) publicly announce the date of the Next Annual Meeting no later than June 1, 2017.

(i) The right of VIEX (i) pursuant to Section 1(e) to participate in the recommendation of a Replacement Director, and (ii) pursuant to Section 1(j) to participate in the selection of New Directors (as defined below) shall automatically terminate on the date that VIEX sells or transfers beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock such that VIEX’s aggregate beneficial ownership of Common Stock decreases to less than one (1) percent (%) of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock (the “Termination Date”). To the extent VIEX has publicly disclosed aggregate beneficial ownership of Common Stock of less than five (5) percent (%) of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock, VIEX shall, upon written request relating to the exercise of its rights under Sections 1(e) or 1(j), provide confirmation to the Company that VIEX’s then current beneficial ownership of Common Stock is equal to or greater than one (1) percent (%) of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock.

(j) Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, a search committee of the Board composed of Messrs. Powers and Press (the “Search Committee”) will engage Korn/Ferry International (the “Search Firm”) to recruit three (3) new directors (each, a “New Director”) who (A) do not have, and have not had in the past three (3) years, a professional or other material relationship with the Company, VIEX or any of their respective Affiliates and their Affiliates’ respective directors, officers or managing members, (B) qualify as an “independent director” under applicable rules of the SEC and the applicable rules of the NYSE, and (C) have data storage expertise, with at least one New Director having expertise in the cloud/software space, at least one New Director who is qualified to serve as chair of the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) in accordance with applicable law, and at least one New Director who is qualified to serve on the Leadership and Compensation Committee of the Board (the “LCC”) in accordance with applicable law. The Search Committee shall run the search process and interview candidates and will consult with Paul R. Auvil III with respect to each candidate for New Director. The Search Committee shall notify VIEX of the proposed New Directors approved by the Search Committee and Mr. Auvil, and VIEX will be entitled to have, together with the Search Committee, a joint or separate meeting with each proposed New Director at the Company’s headquarters or another mutually agreed location or by conference call. VIEX shall have the right to approve or reject each proposed New Director, provided that VIEX shall notify the Search Committee promptly following the meeting whether it approves or rejects the candidate for New Director and shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any such candidate. If VIEX withholds its consent with respect to any candidate, the candidate will not be presented to the Board and the foregoing procedure shall be repeated with respect to one or more other candidates until such time as VIEX shall have so approved three (3) New Directors. Upon approval by VIEX of each candidate to serve as a New Director, all members of the Board shall be afforded the opportunity to meet with and interview such candidate. The candidates to serve as New Directors shall thereafter be presented to the Board for review and approval and appointment to the Board. Regardless of whether the Termination Date has occurred, the Search Committee shall complete the foregoing process with respect to no less than two (2) New Directors no later than sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement, and the third (3^rd) New Director no later than ninety (90) days after the date of this Agreement. As of such time as the first New Director is appointed to and seated on the Board, John Mutch shall simultaneously resign from the Board and all committees of the Board. At such time as the second New Director is appointed and seated on the Board, Jon W. Gacek, or any substitute person appointed pursuant to Section 1(l), shall simultaneously resign from the Board and all committees of the Board. At such time as the third New Director is appointed and seated on the Board, David E. Roberson, or any substitute person appointed pursuant to Section 1(l), shall simultaneously resign from the Board and all committees of the Board. In furtherance of the foregoing, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, each of Messrs. Mutch, Roberson and Gacek (or any substitute person identified pursuant to Section 1(l) (collectively, the “Resigning Directors”) shall execute an irrevocable letter of resignation in the form set forth in Exhibit F tendering his resignation effective upon the selection and the appointment of, in the case of John Mutch, the first New Director, in the case of Jon W. Gacek, or any substitute person appointed pursuant to Section 1(l), the second New Director and, in the case of David E. Roberson, or any substitute person appointed pursuant to Section 1(l), the third New Director. The Company and the Board will under no circumstances reject, waive, delay or otherwise prevent the effect and implementation of the irrevocable resignation letter as and when intended. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, Jon W. Gacek has executed a written waiver of any claim or potential claim arising from, or that may be deemed to arise as a result of, Mr. Gacek’s resignation from the Board constituting an event described in clause 4(d)(y)(i) of the definition of “Involuntary Termination” set forth in the Quantum Corporation Amended and Restated Change of Control Agreement dated December 3, 2015 (the “CoC Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing waiver does not constitute a waiver of any other claim or right of Mr. Gacek that may arise following the occurrence of the Change of Control (as defined in the CoC Agreement) that will result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Board as reconstituted in accordance with this paragraph (j) is referred to herein as the “Reconstituted Board.”

(k) Unless (i) (A) the Standstill Period has terminated and (B) VIEX is soliciting proxies with respect to the election of directors in opposition to the Company at the Next Annual Meeting or taking any action to support a solicitation of proxies with respect to the election of directors in opposition to the Company at the Next Annual Meeting or (ii) the Termination Date has occurred, the Company will recommend, support and solicit proxies for the election of the Reconstituted Board at the Next Annual Meeting.

(l) The parties agree that if, at any time prior to the appointment of the first New Director, any Company Nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, resigns as a director or is removed as a director, the other Company Nominees shall be entitled to name a substitute person to replace the Company Nominee, provided, that, such substitute person must have no material conflict with the Company or its businesses and, other than in the case of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, be “independent” pursuant to the NYSE Listing Standards, provided, further, that any such substitute person chosen pursuant to this Section 1(l) to replace Messrs. Roberson or Gacek shall execute an irrevocable letter of resignation in the form set forth in Exhibit F.

Press, Auvil and Powers are members of the Governance Committee, with Mr. Powers serving as its chair, (ii) Messrs. Auvil, Rau and Roberson are members of the Audit Committee, with Mr. Roberson serving as its chair, and (iii) Messrs. Roberson, Rau and Auvil are members of the LCC, with Mr. Roberson serving as its chair; provided that, with respect to such committee appointments, such VIEX Nominee is and continues to remain eligible to serve as a member of such committees pursuant to applicable law and the rules of the NYSE, if any, that are applicable to the composition of such committees. Upon the resignation of Mr. Roberson, the Board shall appoint a qualified New Director to fill the vacancies on the Audit Committee and the LCC, and (iv) no amendments shall be made to the Governance Committee charter.

(n) The Company agrees that the VIEX Nominees and the New Directors shall receive (i) the same benefits of director and officer insurance, and any indemnity and exculpation arrangements available generally to the directors on the Board, (ii) the same compensation for their service as a director as the compensation received by other non-management directors on the Board, and (iii) such other benefits on the same basis as all other non-management directors on the Board, including having the Company (or its legal counsel) prepare and file with the SEC, at the Company’s expense, any Forms 3, 4 and 5 under Section 16 of the Exchange Act that are required to be filed by each director of the Company.

(o) All obligations of the Company under this Section 1 that have not theretofore terminated shall terminate upon the completion of the Next Annual Meeting.

2. Standstill.

(a) VIEX agrees that, during the Standstill Period, neither it nor any of its Affiliates or Associates under its control or direction will, and it will cause each of such Affiliates and Associates not to, directly or indirectly, in any manner:

(i) engage in any solicitation of proxies or consents or become a “participant” in a “solicitation” as such terms are defined in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act of proxies or consents, in each case, with respect to securities of the Company;

(ii) form, join or in any way participate in any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to the Common Stock, other than a “group” that includes all or some of the persons or entities identified on Exhibit A, but does not include any other persons or entities not identified on Exhibit A as of the date hereof;

Mutch, Roberson and Gacek has not resigned from the Board, within ninety (90) days from the date of this Agreement or, on the ninety-first (91^st) day after the date of this Agreement, unless, with respect to the appointment of the New Directors or in the event any of Messrs. Mutch, Roberson and Gacek has not resigned from the Board, the failure to appoint such New Directors or the failure of Messrs.
